Willie, I believe you read this in one of Applied Engineering's magazine
advertisements.  I have one in an issue of InCider magazine with a
surf board.  It says "Remember when this board meant power" or
something.  Then it talked about the power of the RAMKeeper and that
it was the only card capable of supporting 16MB of RAM on a GS.
It was a nice two page color advertisement too.

As long as we are talking about archiving video and print commercials,
I could get this one scanned and contribute it...
